The talk of war between Germany and
France is being doomed again. Some of
those who claim to know all about the re-
lations between the two countries insist that
war between them will be declared before
October. They insist that the Germans be-
lieve in war and intend to force it on The
statement is attributed to Won Motke that
Europe is on the eve of general war such
as prevailed in 1915. He is reported as say
ing that the situation now is similar to
what it was then, when every country was
burdened with an enormous army and when
all were able to get back to a peace footing

uINE FOR THE r.

One of the items in the chapel royal &C
count was until recently a weekly bottle of
the finest Madeira in the Buckingham pal
ace cellars. The wine was intended for
the refreshments of the officiating clergy,
but it was always kept by n of the lay
officials as his perquisite, and i'll course Of
years this individual accumulated quite a
valuable stock of Madeira, the wine being
genuine old East Indian, worth at least
fifteen shillings q bottle. This absurdity
was very properly stopped by Lord Sydney,
and the late Bishop of London the dean of
the chapeD and the other clergy were
greatly Disguised to find that, although they
had been entitled to q Sunday bumper of
MADEIRA, not a drop had they ever tasted,
thanks TO the "old custom" which stopped
the wine before it reached the yestry.-

INDIAN HoLY STONES.

When q Dakota was in perplexity or dis

brush, roll a bowlder upon it. streak it with
pait, deck it with feathers md flowers, and
then pray to it for needed help.
Usually when a stone had thus served its
purpose, It was no longer regarded as a
sacred object, and might be disposed of in
any way that suited the savage whim; but
the popularity of the sacriticial stone now
described is that from year to year, and
shrine to VIII oh pilgrimages were made,
md where offerings were laid.
Notwithstanding the significance of its
name, the stone is not naturally red, but is
merely a hard specimen Of granite. 1t is
also called "Wankmn," or Is mystery"

monies go on their way. Twice q year,
however. the clan would meet moro form
ally, in order to paint the stone. which they
did with vermillion, or occasionally with
the blood of their enemies, saved for the
purpose.
When this ornamentation was finished
they would trim the bowlder with feathe's,
flowers and other ornaments, and dance
about it before sunrise, with chants and
prayers for successes from the mysterious

The Greatest Gift He Ever Made.

It has been stated in some of our exchanges
that Dir. II. H. Warner, Of Rochester, N. Y, in
the last eight years, has, through his devotion
to science, built an astronomical observatory
at an estimated value Of $780, GOV, and given
between 5000 and q 5000 in pr. zes for astro-
nomical discovery.
This is all very we'll, il Mr.. Warner seeks to
divert his energies in this channel But from
all we can hear among the people, if he never
gave anything to the world except his great
remedy, Warmers safe cure, formerly known
as Warmers safe kidney and liver cure, he
would 10 comforting the most practical and
far-reaching benefit that it ia in the power Of
any one man to give the public.
1t is now conceded that he has the only
specific for k dney disease and uric acid in the
blood, and medical authorities Of cando agree
that If the blood is freed from uric acid by
that great remedy, and tho kidneys are keptin
health, over ninety per cent OF human dis
eases disappears.
The manufacturers evidently know, and il
they do not, we would like to tell them, Of the
unanimity of public sentiment in favor Of
their great remedy; indeed, they seem to real
ize this, when they say: aIf you do not be-
lieve the statements We make. ask your friends
and n%eighbors, what they think Of Warmers
safe cure." Such evidence of confidence in
the established character and worth of their
preparation is unprecedented Unless they
know it has merit, and will do precisely what
they state, they would not dare give such ad-
vice to the public.
Such confidence ought to be infectious

The marvellous stories told of serpents are
lnnumerable. There is one about a yard
III length and as thick as the upper part Of
O strong mans arm which haunts dry wood

IN May. that not only will the first person

ono who stands beside or comes to help
him will share the same fute. If he falls
beneath q tree, that, too, or if it be very
large, ut least one-half Of it will be killed.
Again, serpents of all kinds are very fond
of milk. In the old days, before the rail-
way was built, u goodman, who used to
drive on the road between Foggia and
Naples, once fell asleep outside a little inn
while the horses were batting. His mouth
was open and n snake crept down his
throat. After this he felt nnwell, though
he did not know why, and none of the doc
tors could tell what was the matter with
him. At last he consulted the professor OF
the University of Naples. They hung him
up hy his feet and placed q great bowl OF
milk beneath his head. The snake attract
ed by the smell, crept out to drink, but
still kept a great part of its body in the
mouth and throat of the coachman. A
young doctor sprang forward, pulled it out
and threw it away, when it was killed. L
was about two and !. half feet in length.
After this the patient was rs we'll as ever.

Did you ever see q CONCERT No, I sup
pose not. They IRE not found of these
COASTS, and I never heard of q real one be-
ing captured anywhere far from Ireland,
though, of course, the name of conger is
given TO lots of big cells. But I swear to
you, sir, I have seen them hauled into a
boat from the deep waters off the shores of
Donegal and Hood Head measuring six
teen feet in length, if they were an inch,
and as thick as the fleshiest part of q big
mans leg. You don't believe it, I see.
Well, I did not expect you would. But It
is true, nevertheless. OF course such 4
monster was not often hauled into the boat
directly he was brought to the surface. He
would have made things lively for the
crew in that case. A moose was slipped
over his head and his neck was drawn
across the gunwale. Then he was pounded
just behind the head, with anything That
was handy. A deep cut in the back of the
neck often disables him, but even then it
would take the whole strength of the crew
to drug him in. Caution had to be used,
too, for while a conger-ee], perhaps. won't
absolutely attack q man, if n foot or o hand
